Thanks for sharing Heather, my first 29days is over, I can't believe how quickly it went, and I find myself thanking my friends and family daily for their presence in my life.
Wow this challenge is flying by! I have already adopted a different mindset in so many ways...and becoming more mindful of the little things that can make a difference. Over the last few days my biggest accomplishments in giving were focused on he...
Stacey..what great gives! I love that idea :-) Did you make the tags?? I am not very artistic and always treasure the ability of others to express themselves that way ♥
There is a Compassion Revolution going on! Please check out this link and see how you can become involved!
CONGRATS LISA!! On reaching Day 29 and also for being a terrific mom!! I am a single mom to a 13 yo daughter and I soooo know what you mean..we all realize that the teen years are full of numerous challenges, but the ones that bring the tears and ...
Cami's book is the BEST! I am sure it will be as inspirational to you as it has been to me and all of us :-) Sending you lots of positive healing energy and hugs...we are all here when you need one, or an ear, or maybe even a shoulder when the day...
I think we can all relate to feeling that way..somedays your spirit soars, somedays your ego nags at you and makes you think you are all alone and nothing is right..don't you love it when the spirit wins out? :-) Could be the same situation from o...

Happy Wednesday, Gang!
Day 11
Unfortunately, my daughter who is 13 is just getting the really crappy part of becoming a "woman" and had to be picked up from school early in the day. I wasn't sure what my gft would be today, since I was home with ...
This was a great idea..mailing out a card today to someone who has really been there for me through so much and he is now in need of a little encouragement :-)
Sounds like you had a great time with your kids, too! I totally agree with how incredible this journey has been..the mindful giving and the daily meditation and reflection. It really has been a wonderful experience in so many ways. I hope you enjo...
Great gives, Heather! Enjoy all the time with your daughter and good luck on your new projects... Blessings!
Day 10
Ah, a relaxing Sunday afternoon..one of those lazy days of staying in your pj's and indulging in reading or TV. My gift today was time for my daughter and we watched a marathon of the good ole cartoons...Bugs Bunny, Daffy and Porky Pig :-) ...

In the spirit of the 29 Gifts movement, as well as the upcoming holiday, we'd like to encourage to join Gratitude Giving event by sending a card in the month of November to show your gratitude for someone in your life.
These cards can be hand mad...
Jane...you are not "bad" lol did you enjoy them?? I hope so..M&Ms can perk up a rainy day ;-) @Dawn..you are so right! I was happy to receive that Reiki session from my friend and I know he was glad that he could do something to help me :-) Deb..I...
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I believe strongly in the message " Be the change you wish to see in the world" (Ghandi) There is nothing quite like giving of yourself in any way..small or large..and practicing random acts of kindness ROCKS!
- What I'd most like to receive:
- What I want most to receive is a sense of camaraderie and unity that comes when we treat each other as spiritual beings having a human experience instead of the other way around. The holidays are a very difficult time for me..I have lost my immediate family to various illnesses, including my parents..it will be a year for my dad and two years for my mom. I am blessed with an amazing daughter and want to continue to show her the importance of living a purposeful life and being thankful for what we DO have.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- The Q Kindness Cafe on Facebook..how incredible are they? :-)
- About me:
- Former hospice RN, current Reiki Master. Owner and president of SpiritmovesmeReiki, Inc. Avid reader, occasional blogger, determined activist..Ambassador for Made By Survivors..passionate abolitionist! Proud mom of one amazing kid..we make each other laugh every day ;-)

Wow this challenge is flying by! I have already adopted a different mindset in so many ways...and becoming more mindful of the little things that can make a difference. Over the last few days my biggest accomplishments in giving were focused on helping my best friend who has been having a tough time realizing where he is in his life and where he is going..ironically, receiving the card I sent him as part of the Challenge really touched him and helped him see things in a different light. I am so… Continue

Day 8 and 9 Hel-lo, Heather..are you listening???
Saturday Greetings, Friends!
Day 8
I was in the process of reading Cami's book, since trying to work on my own projects seemed improbable with my own "monkey brain" making it so difficult to focus, and I was hooked! I had a hard time putting it down, but answered the call from my friend who needed me to pick up her son from school because her appointment was running late..I normally don't pick up her kids on Fridays so I was grateful to have found a gift for the day :-) I also took my daughter… Continue

I actually used the card that you can print from this website, although I do make cards sometimes, as I am an artist and scrapbooker. I just love leaving little surprises!

Your idea sounds very interesting. Is there a way I can see the items? It would be woderful to include a handmade item in the Holiday Mail packages. I'd like to talk with you more about this.
